Todd first recommended this wine to me at Double Nickel Steakhouse in Lubbock, Texas USA. Dollar for Dollar this is my favorite Cabernet (under $10 a bottle). Very smooth, not too heavy and certainly not too light. Everything that a cabernet should be. Great with a steak, great with a burrito and it even makes burned Hamburger Helper tolerable.
The wine itself made the trek to my mouth from Washington State. The story goes that it originally was only served at restaurants (which usually means it’s a crappy, overpriced wine that would be on a shelf next to Little Boomey if it were sold in grocery store). 14 Hands, on the other hand (no pun intended) is quite the opposite. This wine could easily go for $14-$15 a bottle and still be worth every penny.
